that's what I am leaning towards and for those reasons.... that combo is strong enough for my V6 with 36's no problem... but still, its a D60! and the vss may be easier to deal with =)

hey, been awhile ... Deal on the HP44/9" fell through in November... now I've been looking for some axles... So I have run across 2 potential sets, and want your opinions... Keep in mind... I plan on this being a weekend offroader, but still needs to be ok on street for runnign...

VSS Update 2... I didn't know there were VSS sensors on the front as well... (duh)... I disconnected the 2 fronts, and the 1 rear... No speedo, but seemed to shift ok. I got the interstate and was able to keep up with and pass traffic w/o any shifting problems.. I plan on going...

VSS Update... Strange... I pulled the plug from the rear axle that I thought was the ABS / VSS wire. Drove around the block expecting the worse.... only thing I noticed was a squishy brake pedal. My speedo worked. Auto Tranny shifted as normal. So that makes me feel much better...

Been googling, looks like I'll most likely have to do an aftermarket speedo, and have a check engine light on all the time (or figure out how to trick the speedo into thinking its ok still. As to steering boxes.. I wasn't able to source a toyota IFS box, and the xterra box as available and...

Found some stuff that makes it seem like the xterra box will work, will just have to play round with getting the steering shaft to play nicely. Have some concerns regarding the speedometer / VSS system. does anyone know where the speedo connect to. Google led me to believe it connects to...

Some 35x12.50.x15 Mud Kings came up on craigslist for $50. all are about 30% tread, 1 looks like there was an steering issue, as it is worn on the edge... Can't find anything on using an Xterra steering box... google comes up with this post as the #3 hit =/ ... Guess I'll stick with the...

Right now its looking like a mid september shop date... unless a curent project wraps up early.... Gives me just under a month to find some 35-36x15 tires and a power steering box... So does anyone have any familiarity w/ using an xterra steering box during a SAS?? google searches mostly...

Heya... yep, I know he will do a killer job.... Looking forward to getting this done and away from IFS at last ...

Cool... Glad Ihave earned the popcorn emoticon =) Won't be anything going on this week, as I will be out of town in boston. So does anyone know if an Xterra power steering box would be strong enough for this application? And what would need to be done to get it to connect on to the...

In the final stages of planning beore starting and finishing the sport trac SAS. All my wheeling rigs have always been Solid Axle. This was my first IFS, and I don't care for it much. I've been through to many CV axles already and am ready to make the change. I have most of the parts sourced...

I admit... that is the first neon yellow axle I have ever seen ... and I like it...

Hey, I mean to put 1979 as the year up there in the original post=) Ya, I knwo they will be wider, im in TN, so no real laws regarding that ( no emissions either)... my jeep had full size axes, and I've been in explorers with them, and I like the wider stance for trail stability...

Thanks boomin... Sounds like I can get a little more out of it than I thought I would. So I guess in a few months there may be another sporttrac up on the SAS registry. Ken

Ok. Locally i have a line on a D44 front, 9" rear from an 79 bronco taht have been fully gone through and rebuilt, regeared (5.13's), spools, etc... from a currently running trail truck so I feel good about the axles. Have a line for someone to help with the SAS ( read that as do all the...

Keep your eye on pullapart's website. I live about 10minutes from the knoxville TN one. If you see one there, I'd be happy to go pull and ship it to you at cost.

Thanks for the help on this one, I really appreciate it. Here is two pics of the front. that is hte broken CVaxle on it, yes, being held up by a coathanger, tried to get it close to how it normally sits. The shock and swaybars are beatup and bent due to the first CV breaking and spinning out...

Ok got some pics. I was unable to get that front diff drop bracket off. My air tools didnd't have enough ooomph to move the bolt. I soaked it with PB blaster and will try again later. I did notice a few things... 1 - lower control arm on the drivers side does not appear to be "square"...

Thank you both for the reply's. I was at pullapart exchaning the cv this morning. @boomin Will get pics when wife gets home. The camera was in the minivan. as far as I know the torsionbar bolts haven't been adjusted. The previous owner was pretty good about telling me...

Still breaking CV axles. I got a replacement OEM one from pullapart. Drove around the neighborhood and things were great!. this morning backed out of the driveway, hadthe wheels to the left, and when the front tires went ovre the small bump at the end of the driveway, pop. broken CV axle...

Ok, still having CV issues. since the initial post I have gone through 3 new driverside axles from Advance Auto. They always appear to have broken due to the axle pulling apart under the CVboot on the diff side of the axle. The first one broke going over some railroad tracks. The second...

Right now Sears has a buy shocks, get install free deal going on. They sale Monroe and Rancho.

Sears has a free install w/ the purchase of monroe or rancho deal going on.

Any of you running a superlift suspension lift. what shock make and part ## are you runnng? I bought some new shocks ((skyjacker nitro) based on a call to the manufacturer w/ my shock info (length, compressed and extended), but they didn't fit because they didn't have that "extension bar" on...

I had the same problem. all the local tranny shops offered a free code read, exterior visual inspection, road test. I went to 3 of them. all 3 gave me a different diagnosis. I ended up going with AAMCO as their story seemed most likely, they acted the most profressional, and being a...
